My True Identity, My Citizenship

As the years pass, I never thought of stuff that could possibly be important to me. I had my own world and thought only of things I see and feel around me. I was so closed that I actually had my own world and never thought of anything else. I had never been able to explore other forms of things that would mean a lot to me as a person.
Talking about as a person, citizenship came out as not so important to me. But thru this project, it made me realize its importance.
Citizenship to me meant nothing at all before this project. All I could think about related to citizenship was that I just usually see it on application forms anywhere and that I’ll be answering it with “Filipino”. That was simply it!
As I was thinking on what to write about my citizenships importance, my identity as a person came to my mind. I never thought an identity of a person is always at risk. I thought it only happened in movies where your identities are stolen.
My citizenship signifies my identity, who I am and who I’ll always be. It is important to me since my identity means ‘me’ as person and that I own it. I have my own identity and my own citizenship and it represents my personality. It not only signifies my identity but it also shows to the world that I am a Filipino, a true blooded Filipino, not just another ‘want to be’. My citizenship shouts out loud that I am proud to be me, a real Filipino.
These thoughts made me come to realize that my citizenship means a lot and is important to me, not just by papers but as a personality. My citizenship comes with my attitude. For instance, I am in a foreign land and I would act the way I normally do. People would surely recognize me as a Filipino for certain reasons. We are bringing the name of our country and our citizenship.
This project helped me a lot to realize and to know how important my citizenship is. I am and will always be a true Filipino.
